ICMR 2005 AKITACALL FOR PAPERS
The conference receives the main idea of thefirst 1991 conference: Beneficial integration ofseparate ideas in the various and traditional engineering fields into a new concept, which could
provide a promising view in 21st century. In the fifth
conference, the following topics are included in thespecial eight sessions:（1）New Materials for Life
Science（2）Construction Materials for Sustainable
Development（3）New Recycling Systems（4）Advanced Materials for Sensors and Information
Storage（5）Environmental Science and Technology（6）Processing and Characterization of Functional
Materials（7）Computer Engineering and MaterialsEngineering for Resources（8）Topics
In 1991, the heritage of resource-researchcommunity enabled Akita to be the place for thefirst international conference on materials engineering for resources（ICMR'91 AKITA）. It aimed at
re-examination of separated ideas in the traditional
engineering fields from resources to electronics, anddirected our efforts to integrate into a new concept,
which would give perspective from electronic,atomic, and molecular to electrical and mechanicalproperties. Since then, the second（1994）celebrated
an establishment of the new PhD program in Mining
College, the third（1998）also commemorated thenew faculty of Engineering and Resource Science
rearranged from Mining College, and the fourth（2001）celebrated entering upon 21st century.
Topics listed above are indicative. Authors areallowed to submit papers also on other topics related
to the main purpose of the conference. Accepted
communications will be presented in poster form.
The proceedings should be prepared. After discussion at the conference, revised papers can be submitted as an original paper in a special issue ofInternational Journal of The Society of Materials
Engineering for Resources.

Co-sponsorship is highly appreciated from bothpublic and private sectors. Please contact with theChairperson of Executive Committee, Prof. Hideo
Tamamoto if any.
